Iowa DNR positive about rabbit, squirrel hunting

Ag/Outdoor, Sports

August 31st, 2013 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa officials have a positive outlook for the state’s latest rabbit and squirrel hunting seasons. The state Department of Natural Resources says the outlook is based on population surveys and availability of food sources. Both seasons begin today (Saturday).

Officials say southern Iowa has the best rabbit densities heading into the fall, but hunters around the state should see better cottontail numbers when compared to last year. The cottontail season will run through Feb. 28. Officials expect above average numbers for squirrels this season. That’s based on the mast production of several hardwood trees, which tends to be tied to peak squirrel populations. The squirrel season runs through January 31.

NM man gets 5-years for Possession w/the intent to distribute pot

News

August 30th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

A judge this week sentenced an Albuquerque, New Mexico man to 5-years in prison for Possession of Marijuana with the intent to distribute. Judge John Jarvey handed down the sentence against 34-year old Oscar Salinas-Olivas in Council Bluffs U-S District Court, on Tuesday. In addition Salinas-Olivas will serve 12 concurrent months for violation of his federal supervised release from New Mexico. The judge also ordered the man to serve six-years of supervised release following his incarceration, when he will be also subject to deportation.

On May 8th, 2013, Salinas-Olivas pled guilty to being in possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, and admitted the violation of the terms of his supervised release. The charge was the result of a traffic stop by the Iowa State Patrol on January 16th, 2013. Salinas-Olivas was driving the vehicle when he was stopped for speeding. A search of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of about 320 pounds of marijuana.

Salinas-Olivas was on supervised release from New Mexico at the time of his arrest, for a 2010 conviction of being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm. The investigation was conducted by the Iowa State Patrol, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), and prosecuted by the U-S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
